Another year has passed and we are entering a brand new decade. We have come so far, and I know that there are still many years ahead of us that we will still be connected somehow, someway... under the same rainbow sky - the rainbow connection. Happy New Year Ecchis!~
The Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Changing Partners
I knew that my younger sister and her boyfriend, who was in States, had broken up, but I thought maybe they’d get back together.
The signs. She started to have more phone calls from guys. She hardly talked to him on the phone. She wrote him emails, from a daily routine to once a week affair.
One night, Lizzie brought him home, her new boyfriend. She said that when she first met him, she didn’t even like him at all. I thought, Yeah, but I was horny for him.
Alone together at last, I said, “I thought you really loved him.”
“I did,” she said. “Craig’s great.”
“I liked him,” I said.
She nodded. Then she said, “There were too many of differences in value between us.”
It sounded to me like “better course selection”, and I gave her a look to say so, but she pretended not to see and went to join her new boyfriend.
That night, I couldn’t fall asleep. I looked out of the window, only one house had any lights on, and the light was just the blue of a television set.
I tried to understand how Lizzie could give up on someone who loved her so much, whereas I was the one who was given up by the other someone. The whole situation was ironic. She could have gotten what she wants, but she threw it away. I wanted so much to be loved wholeheartedly by my ex-boyfriend, but I wasn’t given that chance. It scares me to think that my sister had failed at loving someone. I had no idea what I should expect from a guy, if I ever fall in love again someday.
*The guy I loved for years, who was my first true love, ended up bailed on me after being together for 3 months. 2 years later we were back together. The irony part is, this time I was the one who took the run... & till today, it's the biggest regrets in my life that I didn't end it in a better way.
